Abstract

Front cover image: Despite the remarkable progress made on high-performing cathode materials, the showstoppers of aqueous Zn-metal batteries are the dendrite problem and poor reversibility of zinc-metal anode (ZMA). In article number 10.1002/cey2.70, research teams by Xiulei Ji, Jia-Xing Jiang, Chong Fang and P. Alex Greaney collaborated to develop a ZnCl2/LiCl mixture water-in-salt electrolyte, in which the high concentration makes the water molecules robust and the additive of Li+ leads to an electrostatic shield eff ect to restrict the growth of Zn dendrites. As a result, the ZMA shows a high Coulombic effi ciency and dendrite-free morphology.
